Resources from Amplified

Throughout the Amplified programme we’ll be working with children, young people and parents to co-develop and test toolkits and resources that can help you to bring participation into your services or organisations.

About Amplified

Funded and supported by NHS England, Amplified is a programme to support and build participation in every part of the children and young people’s mental health system. This means both:

The participation of children, young people and their families in the commissioning, design and delivery of the mental health services they use.

The participation of children and young people and their families in decisions about their individual mental health and care and treatment

Our goals are to:

Build the knowledge, confidence and skills of professionals across the mental health system around participation

Increase the participation of young people and their families in the children and young people’s mental health system – at individual, organisational, local and national levels by helping more settings embed participation in what they do.

Amplified Training and Support

NHS England commissioned settings can access free training, support and resources to support the participation of children, young people and their families. We can offer you and your organisation something wherever you are on your participation journey.

Amplified Insights Survey

In 2017, we invited young people, parents and carers to tell us about your experiences of and attitudes towards participation in mental health services - the successes, the ambitions, as well as the challenges.

We’re using the results of our Insights Survey to inform the work of #TeamAmplified over the next four years. The survey will be repeated in 2019.

Amplified Trailblazers

Every year Amplified selects and supports twelve Trailblazers to develop participation in their organisation. We will be recruiting our Year 2 Trailblazers in March 2018, so keep checking back here for more information.

Amplified Resources

Through our Amplified programme, we’ll be developing online and offline resources to help services and organisations to make sure the voices of children, young people and parents are being heard throughout the mental health system.
